Why do people act like democracy is all that matters and ignore nuance in democracy conversations?

[Anonymous]

Unchecked democracy can lead to mob rule authoritarianism.

I'm not here to bash democracy, but we need to get real, above how we feel, to have a nuanced conversation.

. I believe in Democratic and Republic values I'm a libertarian I want small government and democratic Republic with constitutional and natural rights values. The system answers to the people, but the democracy cannot subdue individual rights and freedoms. Some rights are given to us by God. Mob rule can lead to bullying if democracy goes to far.

Democracy is a good thing but in and of itself the media wants to focus on it as the ONLY thing. What happen our Constitution and our Republic? We can't just shut out any alternative views as Anti Democratic. Seems like the elites want controlled opposition for a "democratic" fascist authoritarian. Democracy where the majority even if there wrong gets to dictate right and wrong is bad. The values of a society must have a tangible society behind them and we can't make to many laws both Democrats and neoconservatives are bad at making small government

It all has to work as people love to screw things up. So all government will fail because of the people.

Right now no young person wants to vote... Just change things but you have to vote to change them...

Local governments need to get better and less focused ont he huge main government.

Yes it all has to work, not just one. Young people need to vote but at the same time we need to solve issues outside of politics and on a grassroots level and local level change, since every most problem is local than federal. Federal solutions often have a one size fits all approach that divides. Local governments do need to get better, as they answer to the people.

[Asker]

You are right governments do fail because of people voting in dumb people and being manipulated by Degeneracy and doing degenerate things and blaming it on other things every time. We can work on society by working on local communities.

It can't lead to mob rule. It can lead to majority rule but that will always be better than minority rule.

[Asker]

Whattt ur statement undermines minority rights

[normalice]

Rights and privilege have nothing to do with each other. The minority that tends to end up ruling is always the rich.

[Asker]

Majority rule can be mob rule. The police department, FBI, CIA, federal department trample indiv rights.

[normalice]

What you just described is more minority groups.

[Asker]

No if u trample. liberty u hurt everyone

[Asker]

We need to hold rich elites accountable wen they compromise individual rights

[normalice]

What? I just pointed out that police, fbi, and Cia are minority groups and that's your reaponse? Are all libertarians incapable of following any conversation that isn't scripted by their thought leaders, or just you?

[normalice]

Yes. If you have a realistic way of holding rich elites accountable, by all means share it. But because it seems you have not caught on: libertarianism is specifically how they avoid accountability.

[Asker]

Naw we need to recognize our natural rights and expose them and be insurgents

[Asker]

My points are not all libertarian, but I am a libertarian because I believe In Natural rights of all people and in constitution

[normalice]

So, bloody revolution is your goal. Just say that.

[Asker]

A smart good values revolution, not degenerate controlled opposition.

[normalice]

So, idealism but with weapons. You're quite the thinker 😅

[Asker]

The federal elites are not in charge

[normalice]

It's like whackamole but with goal posts 🤣

[Anonymous]

because most people have simple-minded brains and can't think past any possible flaws that democracy may have

[paledreams]

Because democracy 💪🏻👀

[Maybeyoutoo]

I thought Australia had a king

[Asker]

You can't primary democracy because then democracy gets eroded by mob rule idiot an antiindividual right ruler. You need a democracy mixed with something else.

[paledreams]

I enjoy Australia having a King, yes 👑

[Maybeyoutoo]

What's your problem with democracy?

[Asker]

I like democracy but in and of itself seems incomplete and weak, could be compromised be federal or corrupt forces. I don't want the rights of people being infringed.
